I admit that
about 90% of this decision was based on my housemate and I watching
the complete Lord of the Rings cycle (Hobbit films first) one
film a night for a week. You can't expose yourself to that much high
fantasy without wanting to paint elves, not when you're a Warhammer
player.
And because
I am a painfully indecisive person (who also has a small Wood Elves
army already) it'll be an Army of the Eternity King (minus the
Eternity King because I hate that model). I love all three of
Warhammer's elven races: the High Elves in their white robes, the
Dark Elves with their serrated blades and the Wood Elves with all the
longbows you could ever want. There are so many specialist units I so
want to paint: Executioners, Swordmasters, Eternal Guard and so
forth. I think this project will be less building to a plan and more
picking up whatever catches my fancy.
About the
only definite idea I have for the army is that the general will be a
Loremaster Of Hoeth.
Korando of
Hoeth is an old character of mine, though this will be the first time
I've used him as a general. He used to be a mercenary captain for
games of Triumph & Treachery who led a small unit of Shadow
Warriors. He's a wanderer and the army I'll be building represents
less an official alliance than people he's picked up on the way.
Whatever
else, this'll be a fun story to write and an interesting army to
paint.
